The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh announced Tuesday it is offering eligible faculty and staff a voluntary retirement buyout with a one-time payment equal to 50% of an employee's annual base salary.

UW-Oshkosh becomes the third campus within the UW System to offer buyouts in an effort to reduce its workforce in the face of state budget cuts. UW-Eau Claire was the first, followed last week by UW-Superior.

UW-Oshkosh expects about 100 employees would be eligible. It has set a goal of reducing its workforce by 80 within the next three years.(50)

Delicately Delicious to make Valentine appearance at Bayshore

The Cedarburg dessert bakery Delicately Delicious said it plans to open up a Valentine's pop-up shop at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale from Jan. 31 to Feb. 14.

The temporary shop, located in the mall's rotunda, will feature an extensive cupcake menu.

"Winter-inspired flavors include hot chocolate and dirty snowball cupcakes," owner Jennifer Goldbeck said in a news release. "Our menu is also influenced by the Valentine's Day holiday, with lovely flavors such as passion fruit and a chocolate strawberry riff on the recently departed but beloved Hostess cupcake."

Cupcakes range in price from $2.50 to $3 each.
